Gabriela Buccini (Environmental and Occupational Health) is a co-author of a newly published article, "Household food insecurity and early childhood development in Brazil: an analysis of children under 2 years of age," in the Public Health Nutrition journal. The study found that household food insecurity is strongly associated with the risk of developmental delays of very young children. Investments that prevent or mitigate household food insecurity are likely to be key for improved human and national development.
